I will be visiting a friend in Maine to be in that path of totality. Looking forward to it!

Oh yes, one at a time (probably the one used in the attack). And I would definitely allow a saving throw, as well as a visual/mental indication of what was going on ("the wand flashes, then dims as you feel your connection to it fade (or waver, if the save was made).").

If you really want to get really powerful, have a monster ability that can break attunement. :eek:

I like the design space you are opening up, but I would have to play with it some. It might be too subtle for some players to pick up on, so maybe have the character's attuned items flare in reaction to the attack, and bolts of energy leap from them to the character's brow. Though, what if the...

I hope for @Nixlord's Expanded Monster Manuals 1, 2 and 3. I would imagine monster books in general would be the most straightforward to do, except for some monsters that twist the rules in funky ways. Edited to add: Sorry, do you mean to limit suggestions to only settings, classes, and PC species?

Yeah... I was thinking we were getting a 2024 DMG preview of new boons. :.-(

I think one can make clear and comprehensive rules with natural language. But if one wants rules to be complete and cover everything, it can get a bit dense and wordy. Unless the game is very simple, no ruleset will cover every situation. Even less open-ended rules like boardgame rules written...

Huh. I have been running the Paralyzed condition wrong in letting targets maintain Concentration. I will begin using this RAW, but it feels wrong to me. Anyone else feel that way?

CR 1/8.

I used Quickleaf's original table as a source of data, and they did not include CR 0, so I did not either. One could easily recalibrate the CR scale to have current CR 0 relabeled as CR 1, for my purposes here. I used the DPR data in your original tables, but I renamed CR 0.125 to CR 1, CR 0.25...

Well, I am the Dread Pedant Roberts...

All robbery is theft, but not all theft is robbery.

Challenge Rating numbers are just labels, so deriving a value using them is only useful in comparing to other Challenge Ratings. As the lower CRs are fractions, math with them tends to exaggerate differences. If we recalibrate the CR labels so they start at 1 instead of 1/8, we get the...

But isn't killing Vader (and the Emperor) what Obi-Wan and Yoda train Luke for? Obi-Wan even laments that "the Emperor has already won" when Luke says he can't kill his father. Semi-ninja'ed by MarkB.

I think it is also possible that Emerie lied about being a clone to gain Omega's trust.

"Excelsior? Why in God's name would you want that bucket o' bolts?"

I found the Mobile feat to be nice for monks -- lean into the "you move very fast" schtick. Plus, if you need to move past a couple of opponents, you don't need to spend your action or ki to disengage to avoid Opportunity Attacks -- just attack them on your way by.

This all brings to mind the different streaming camps of bingers vs weekly viewers. :ROFLMAO: It sounds like you don't think major plotlines will get resolved soon for a reader. A fair point, and one I grant, but I think they will get resolved someday. In universe, though, it has not been a...

It was Tarquin's sorcerer, Miron, who cast the baleful polymorph on Bloodfeast: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0926.html

I will admit I wish the strip released more frequently (though I understand and appreciate the reasons behind it), but the plot payoffs we have gotten so far give me confidence that Rich Burlew has a plan, and we will see a satisfying conclusion. Unlike, say, George R.R. Martin...
